16 Page NL Master.Qxd On The Square Sponsored by Heartland Bank The Quarterly Newsletter for the McLean County Museum of History Volume 45, Number 4 December-January- February 2013-14 Braceros Subject of Museum Talk The Museum is pleased to welcome Dr. Mireya Loza, assistant professor in the Department of Latina/o Studies and History at the University of Illinois. Dr. Loza will present Braceros on the Boundaries: Activism, Race, Masculinity, and the Legacies of the Bracero Program . Her talk explores the impact of the bracero program, a controversial Mexican guest worker initiative of the 1940s. The program will be held on Tuesday, February 25, at 7:00 p.m. in the Museum’s Governor Fifer Courtroom. Free and open to the public, this event is being held in conjunction with the Museum’s current exhibit ¡Fiesta! A Celebration of Mexican Popular Arts. Millions of Mexican workers crossed the border to work in more than half of the states in the U.S., including Illinois. Loza will discuss the bracero program, its impact on the history of this region, and its lasting legacy. Dr. Loza earned her Ph.D. in American Studies from Brown University. Her dissertation and talk are based on her work with the National Museum of American History’s Bracero History Project. This program is made possible in part by a grant from the Illinois Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Illinois General Assembly, and support from COUNTRY Financial.

Championship Hat Sales to Benefit Museum History, Hollywood, and sports heroes have inspired a unique fund raiser for the Museum. Local sports history fans have a chance to own a unique piece of baseball memorabilia that also benefits the Museum. In 1969, the Illinois State University baseball team won the school’s only national collegiate sports title in Redbird history. Coach Duffy Bass and future Atlanta Braves pitcher, Buzz Capra, led the team to the NCAA College World Series, defeating Southwest Missouri State University 12-0 in Springfield, Missouri. Today, ISU is offering a replica hat from the 1969 NCAA College Division National Championship team exclusively through the Museum’s On the Square gift shop in downtown Bloomington. This limited-edition baseball hat was created by Ebbets Field Flannels, the same company that designed and produced the handmade replica Negro League and Minor League uniforms featured in the Jackie Robinson biopic “42.” “Given the fine work the McLean County Museum of History does to keep our local story safe, alive and acces - sible, it's a natural place to offer this exciting piece of the Illinois State University story," said R.C. McBride, director of trademark and licensing at ISU. The 1969 Redbird hat will be sold for in the Museum’s gift shop for $40 plus tax.

  • Wrigley Always Was Tough Homecoming for Capra by George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, April 19, 2016 Buzz Capra Finally Has Come Home, Permanently
    Wrigley always was tough homecoming for Capra By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, April 19, 2016 Buzz Capra finally has come home, permanently. But that process was oh-so-hard when he was a big deal, the local boy wanting to make good in base- ball, back in the 1970s. Capra, now 68 and a Hoffman Es- tates resident, has settled into a routine of coaching kids at Elite Sports Training on Randall Road in St. Charles. None of his students, though, likely know how hyped his grand entrance was on Wednesday, Buzz Capra (left) with Cubs radio voice Pat Hughes at May 24, 1972 at Wrigley Field as January's Pitch and Hit Club Banquet. starting pitcher for the New York Mets. Not too many Chicago products make it to the big leagues. Even in the mid-20th centu- ry, a bulk of big leaguers came from the Sunbelt, where they could hone their skills year -round. Yet here was Capra, product of Lane Tech High School and Illinois State Uni- versity, trying to crack a rotation with big names and big fastballs like Tom Seaver, Jer- ry Koosman and Jon Matlack. He certainly had the recommendation of the Mets’ farm director of that time – Whitey Herzog. “It’s nerve-wracking,” Capra recalled. “They always gave me the big buildup here, no matter what team I was playing for. But especially the Mets, because of the rivalry with the Cubs. I could hardly sleep the night before (at the family home in the Belmont- Austin neighborhood on the Northwest).

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

Presidents - American League Ed Griffin - National League Bob Figella NEWS AROUND THE LEAGUE: Ed Griffin completed his “INSIDE THE FBN” and for FBN teams it’s a must read. This is edition #20 for Ed. In the first 19 years he’s predicted correctly 76% of the time. “I miss about two a year, said Griffin. Usually it’s the bubble teams that are tough to judge or It’s because I don’t follow my basic rule, don’t include Klee’s!” Below are his predictions: NATIONAL LEAGUE 1) Wall Street - 2) Taxachusets - 3) Allyn Street - 4) Maine - 5) Foggymountain - 6) Hazardville 7) Connecticut 8) Illinois - 9) US Jarheads - 10) Klee's - 11) Burlington - 12) Norwich Before the opening series at Kate Elizabeth Park, manager Jeff Kent put something on the team’s bulletin board. “The NL is much better this year and very interesting. I think the top five teams…all good but aside from Wall Street they all have some holes. Jarheads will crush the ball... but the pitching is horrid!!!” US 9th place!! I think Kemp was trying to get under their skin. As the Jarheads all slapped that message on the bulletin board as they ran out of the locker room and onto the field. All with one thing on their minds, VICTORY. The Jarheads gave it a go but went out and lost the opener, 3-1. US surrendered all of the runs Wall St.

  • The History of the Fly-By-Night Baseball Association
    THE HISTORY OF THE FLY-BY-NIGHT BASEBALL ASSOCIATION Founded in 1974 by David Smith History of the FBNBA BY SCOTT ELLIS 1985 REPRINTED AND UPDATED BY ROB BRUNO (the first 35 years) Part II 1974 -2009 (In 1994, the FBNBA is getting ready for its 19 th PMB season and 20 th season overall. The Prologue that Scott Ellis wrote on June 9, 1985, could easily be written today as the FBNBA has had her ups and downs again and has also expanded for 1994. See if you agree as you read Scott’s Prologue. 2004 – Now going into the 32 nd year the FBN is healthier than ever returning 23 members for 2004 and the return an old friend.) Prologue - June 9, 1985 The play-by-mail version of the Fly-By-Night Baseball Association is 10 years old this year. Not many PBM organizations can make that claim. We’ve had our ups, we’ve had our downs, but the FBNBA has survived, evolved and flourished. We’ve had a lot of fun and with expansion in 1986, more excitement is on the way. The FBNBA is not heavily into statistics, but neither does it discourage detailed record keeping. We do however focus more on personalities and competitiveness rather than getting bogged down with trivial number. I think it is especially nice that the FBNBA can accommodate both the computer brains and good time gamers. We are a trading association. This is good too, because the more we talk to each other the more friendships are made.
